It really isn't bad, but I have ended with bits of ground meat on my shirt on occasion. I did watch a fella grinding meat to make sausage with a professional grinder. He had to put his hand in front of the output or he ended with meat stuck to the wall. His had a 6HP motor in it and ground about 20 pounds in a less than a minute. Oh the joy.
